Oklahoma - Dining Room Demo 3:31

8d ago3:31

3:31

This is a song that I actually wrote decades ago. Only a couple of people have ever heard it, and there's a reason for that; I feel like it's too easy for this one to be misunderstood, and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings with it. But with the election today I'm really feeling this pretty hard right now about the entirety of the USA, and if …

Traffic and Weather Report from Australian Magpie 23:44

28d ago23:44

23:44

I'm working on a bunch of new music that I'm not ready to post yet, so for now here's a lovely soundscape from this morning, recorded at my little rental house on Lake Hume. It was a very rainy morning, and an Aussie magpie was hanging out in the tree right outside my window, quietly talking to itself about all the worms it was planning to eat once…

Dirge Decay 4:39

12M ago4:39

4:39

This is a track I did for the Frog Fractions 2 ARG, it was meant to be an artifact from the remains of the civilization of Bug Mars. It's a song of mourning in the last days of a dying civilization. Lyrics:There was no war, there was no victoryNo grand defeat to make some sense of theThings that we lost, things that we gave for freeBecause we never…

Things Will Be Better Next Year 3:21

2y ago3:21

3:21

This is the instrumental track for a song I have still never recorded. I wrote the song near the end of 2020. It's about reassuring yourself that the currently horrible world events are temporary. It was a sort of cross between optimism and intentional irony, and of course 2021 turned out to suck even worse. Maybe one day I'll record it, but for no…

Beef 3:46

This is just a rough draft of a ridiculous thing I built from a Librivox audiobook of an old book called "The Book of the Damned", by Charles Hoy Fort. The chapters these samples were taken from were read by Matthew Shepherd.저자 Dan Warren

Welp I set out to just make a nice little western thing and it ended up sounding way too much like Gorillaz. I swear it wasn't on purpose. Back to the drawing board.저자 Dan Warren

Wakarimasen 2:32

2+ y ago2:32

2:32

I'm tired of not understanding Japanese, so I made a machine to do it for me. It's just a sampler fed with random syllables from my Pimsleur Japanese lessons, with the two voices occasionally asking each other if they understand and forlornly responding that they don't.저자 Dan Warren

It Always Happens 1:29

3y ago1:29

1:29

This is a very old track, basically a found poem taken from a vocabulary building record from the 80s. It (in my mind) tells the story of a relationship that starts off strong but gets weird and creepy, and ends with them parting with no real lessons learned.저자 Dan Warren

Spaghetti Code 4:09

3y ago4:09

4:09

Last week I was playing around with sampling some sounds from an old data cassette as well as an XDR toneburst. I ended up using those sampler instruments to flesh out a bit of music I'd already been working on, and the end result sounds like a discarded and poorly weathered cassette of some old video game music.…

Work In Progress - Nothing Never Lasts Forever 11:14

3y ago11:14

11:14

This track is me sort of exploring the idea that quantum foam and the big bang imply that the universe absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of true nothingness. There can be nothing, but not for long. Sort of encouraging, in a perverse way.Anyway it takes a long time to get started; the track began as sort of an experiment in building music out…

The Step Down - Instrumental 4:55

3y ago4:55

4:55

This is just me playing with some sounds in Bitwig. The progression is fun because when it sounds like it's looping back to the beginning it's actually a step lower than it started out (hence the name). The other neat thing about this one is that the super funky electric piano bit that starts at 1:30 is just running the same chords through two diff…

Everyone's Got a Vocoder Except For Me - Living Room Phone Recording 1:18

3y ago1:18

1:18

This is a completely ridiculous little thing that I wrote many, many, MANY years ago that just suddenly came back to my mind the other day. For some reason the thing that brought it back to me was that I remembered playing it for Jon Mooneyham and him being incredulous that I had name-dropped Clarence Clemons. Anyway, it's a very stupid song and no…

This is just a snippet of music I came up with years ago, completely forgot, and then stumbled across this morning while looking for something else. I don't know that I'll ever do anything more with it, but I do think it's kinda pretty.저자 Dan Warren

This is just me learning how to use the automation in Arturia Pigments, and throwing out some massive brraaaaaams in the process. This whole track is one chord, and the rest of it is just delays, reverbs, and distortions with a bunch of interacting automation.저자 Dan Warren

Living room demo - Leave the Living to the Living 1:40

3+ y ago1:40

1:40

Okay this is a demo of a short (or half finished, depending) track that sort of straddles the line between depressing metaphor and "oh maybe there are actual zombies in this song", which is a pretty funny concept to me. Very rough recording, just using my ipad mic in the kitchen the other morning.Lyrics:Some people die with their eyes openAnd just …

Rough living room demo: You'll Know 3:09

This is just a super-rough demo recorded on my phone, for a song currently (but not necessarily permanently) called "You'll Know". Mostly I recorded this so I wouldn't forget the lyrics I've come up with, but I also think the song is going in a really good direction so I wanted to share it.Lyrics (as of today):When the time has come for you, you'll…

Who are you now, when all your fear is stripped away?Who are you now?What do you remember from the day?What did you surrender to get away?Hey, are you all right? Are you going to be all right?You seem to have forgotten how to breathe, or lost the urge for quite a while.저자 Dan Warren

I feel like I'm finally nearing the end of production on my album Evergreen; everything is recorded, and now it's just a question of final mixing and mastering. Here's a more or less final version of the song that started it all, Sail or Anchor. Fun fact: much of the percussion is recordings of Ann Druyan's brain waves from the Voyager golden recor…

Pale Orange City Lights - Noisy Piano Demo 2:44

This is a very rough demo of a song I've been working on. I recorded it on my iPhone, playing the piano that I learned on as a child. It's in bad repair these days and sounds like it, but it has a special place in my heart.The song is about the aftermath of an alien abduction where a couple have had something installed in them that will record thei…

Room Experiment 0:17

4y ago0:17

0:17

This is not really meant to be a track per se, just demonstrating a proof of concept. This is essentially taking the idea behind Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" and faking it by chaining the same reverb over and over again instead of repeated recordings in a real space. Then I'm basically turning those reverbs on and off rhythmically while …

How Long Can You Keep This Going? 3:50

Okay this is a sad one. I wrote this song about four years ago when I was approaching the end of a postdoc fellowship and didn't yet have another job lined up, and was contemplating what to do if I wasn't able to continue my academic career. At the same time I was talking to my family back home about how my brother's health was failing, and the aby…

Here's a draft of a song for Evergreen. Musically it started as an exercise in writing nonfunctional harmony.
